How long does an after school graffiti workshop last?

Our Sligo after-school workshops usually run for 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives the children enough time to learn the basic safety rules, practice their spray painting techniques on a practice wall, and finally execute their own masterpiece on a canvas or board. We find this timeframe is the sweet spot for keeping energy high and creativity flowing without the students getting tired.

Is the paint safe for children to use?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep clothes clean. Our professional artists are trained to supervise the students constantly, ensuring they use the spray cans correctly and safely in a well-ventilated environment. We make sure the kids have a brilliant time while staying completely protected.

Does this encourage illegal graffiti or vandalism?

Absolutely not! We emphasize that graffiti is an art form that requires permission. We teach the kids about the history of street art and the importance of only painting in legal spots or on designated surfaces. Our goal is to channel their energy into positive, legal creativity rather than illegal vandalism. It’s all about respect for the community.

Do the students need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artist mentors break everything down into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Whether a student is already a talented doodler or has never held a paintbrush in their life, they will leave the session with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of. It is all about personal expression.

What materials do we need to provide?

We provide everything! This includes all the premium spray paint in a huge variety of colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear like masks and suits, and the surfaces they will be painting on. The school or venue just needs to provide a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and access to some water for cleaning up. We take care of all the messy logistics.

What is the cost of a workshop in Sligo?

Our pricing typically ranges between €30 and €60 per student, depending on the number of participants and the specific duration of the program. Because every school group in Sligo has different needs, we recommend getting in touch for a bespoke quote. Plus, with Graffitifun, you don't have to pay anything upfront – you only pay after the workshop is complete!

The experience

Unleash hidden talent: Many kids who struggle with traditional school subjects thrive in the hands-on, tactile world of street art. ✨
Builds confidence: There’s nothing quite like the pride of seeing your own giant, colourful name on a wall or canvas.
Professional mentors: Learn from real artists who live and breathe the culture, not just teachers reading from a book. 🎤
Zero stress for schools: We bring everything, manage the setup, and handle the cleanup. You just provide the space!
Safe and controlled: We use high-quality, low-odour paints and top-tier safety gear to ensure a healthy environment. 🏆
Inclusive fun: Graffiti is a great equaliser—it doesn't matter your background, everyone starts with a blank canvas and a fresh can.

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a high-energy introduction to graffiti culture and a vital safety demonstration on how to use the gear properly.
Design brainstorming: Students grab paper and markers to sketch out their ideas, tags, and characters, planning their colour schemes before touching a can.
The first spray: Under the guidance of our pros, kids learn how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create their first lines on a practice surface.
Mastering techniques: We move on to "filling," "fading," and "outlining"—the three pillars of a great piece of street art.
Creating the masterpiece: Now the real fun begins! Each student applies their new skills to their final project, whether it's a personal canvas or a shared mural.
The finishing touches: Our artists help the students add highlights and sharp outlines to make their artwork really 'pop.'
Group gallery and photos: We finish with a celebration of everyone's work, taking photos of the crew and their amazing new creations.

Sligo has always been a hub for creativity—from the poetry of Yeats to the vibrant contemporary arts scene centered around places like The Model. Our workshops aim to add a modern, urban twist to that local heritage. We love bringing the street art vibe to the shadow of Benbulben, showing the local youth that creativity has no limits. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Sligo is home to some incredible hidden murals? If you head down towards the Garavogue River, you can spot some brilliant local street art that perfectly blends Sligo's natural beauty with modern urban style! 🌊
